Join us this Thursday, March 13 at our New Member Q&A with farmers (pictured left). Hosted at:

ARROW Community Center (35th Street between 35th & 36th Aves *corrected)

Please be prompt! We will start on time!

As you may know, the New Member Q&A is a great place to:

• get your CSA questions answered
• meet a potential share partner
• meet our farmers
• meet other CSA members
• receive more information about our new need-based shares
• begin registeration for the 2008 season

We hope to see you then!

Dear Members, CSA order reminder for March 8th,

We are writing this reminder for our delivery coming up on Saturday March 8th. The order deadline is on Monday, March 3rd at midnight. We thank you for indulging us these days for preparation of the orders as the number of farms we coordinate with has increased and the number of orders has increased. Thank you for your support, we love our farm life, as busy as it can be at times!

I am so sorry for sending this reminder out so late before the order deadline. We have just received a large batch of new inventory and wanted it to be available for you on the website when we sent this. It will hopefully be all entered by the end of the day today and then all kinds of things should show up again for you on our lists of beef and pork.

Astoria CSA Members:

Welcome to the 2008 season!
A few house cleaning issues before you register:

We are so excited to open our membership for the 2008 season. This year promises to be bigger than our last with 150 shares available to us and a grant from Citizens Committee for NYC to help support low-income shares. As many of you know, we are working with ARROW Recreation Center to change the location of our distribution next season. With this move we’ll have more space and hope to make a larger presence in the greater Astoria community. Read the rest of this entry »
